9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-09 04:34:22

We learned back in June that Apple is working on a new entry-level MacBook, to be powered by the A18 Pro chip rather than an M-series processor. This would be the first time the company has ever offered a MacBook below $999. A new supply-chain report says that the first stage of production is scheduled to begin sometime next month, with full-scale manufacturing potentially in progress by the end of the year … Low-cost MacBook The MacBook Air has always been the cheapest model offered by Apple

This iOS 26 update ruined the iPhone camera app for me - then Apple saved the day

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-12-09 04:55:13

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways iOS 26 introduces a new gesture behavior to the iPhone camera switcher. This shift in app navigation has caused frustration among pros and casual users. On the latest dev beta, Apple has added a toggle to revert the behavior to the original. While many would say that the public development of iOS 26 has been rocky, one recent feature, introduced in the latest developer beta, has given me renewed faith in Apple.

Apple released the second public beta of iOS 26 on Thursday, and the beta brings a new Liquid Glass design, call screening and more features to the iPhones of developers and beta testers.

How old is the earliest trace of life on Earth?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-09 04:00:03

The question of when life began on Earth is as old as human culture. “It's one of these fundamental human questions: When did life appear on Earth?” said Professor Martin Whitehouse of the Swedish Museum of Natural History. So when some apparently biological carbon was dated to at least 3.95 billion years ago—making it the oldest remains of life on Earth—the claim sparked interest and skepticism in equal measure, as Ars Technica reported in 2017. Whitehouse was among those skeptics. This July

Apple’s new Siri may allow users to operate apps just using voice

In Brief Apple in 2024 showed a swanky demo of what it said would be a new, intelligent Siri that would connect with different apps to fetch all kinds of information. But this new Siri has yet to see the light of day, as the company seemingly hasn’t been able to get it ready.

SoftBank founder Son makes his biggest bet by staking the Japanese giant's future on AI

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-12-08 22:29:35

Masayoshi Son is making his biggest bet yet: that his brainchild SoftBank will be the center of a revolution driven by artificial intelligence. Son says artificial superintelligence (ASI) — AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans — will be here in 10 years. It's a bold call — but perhaps not surprising. He's made a career out of big plays; notably, one was a $20 million investment into Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba in 2000 that has made billions for SoftBank. Now, the billionaire is hop

Eliot in 1926. Photography by Henry Ware Eliot. “The Hollow Men,” as we have it now, was first published in T.S. Eliot’s Poems: 1909-1925. It is the final poem in the collection, appearing directly after The Waste Land. To say it was first published in 1925 is a little misleading. The third section (of the five) appeared in the 1924 miscellany The Chapbook. It was part of a grouping of three lyrics under the title “Doris’s Dream Songs.” (Most of the contributors to The Chapbook are forgotten.
